Insomnia DSC_6819

"Its 3 am I'm feeling lonely"

 

What is it about 3 am?

 

I have suffered from insomnia for about the last 10 years. I know I am not alone and it is particularly common in women of a certain age but it sure feels lonely at the witching hour of 3 am when I wake up almost every night.

 

It is hard to control your thoughts when there is nothing else to do but think and the black dog is waiting for you every night.

 

I am prone to discuss all sorts of random things with the Sherpa after gently nudging him awake, only to find he has either fallen asleep during the conversation or has no recollection of the events by morning.

 

This was taken on our last day away. A storm was approaching and I dashed down to the end of the street to

where darkness engulfed the coast as the rains started.

 

Adding more drama with the processing it reminded me of how I feel at 3 am.

 

My image wasn't showing up in Flickr people feed so have reloaded it.
